US oligarch Elon Musk officially endorses the Pro-Russia collaborator Fidias Panayiotou.

12 Dec: In Old Scandinavia, farmers set out a Julenek, a sheaf of grain kept from the summer harvest, for the birds to feast upon at #Christmas. Called the “Remembrance of Birds,” this act of #kindness was thought to ensure good luck and a plentiful harvest the following year.

💔 A European Parliament interpreter could not hold back tears during the speech of 11-year-old Roman Oleksiv from Lviv.

The boy survived a missile strike on Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022, which killed his mother - it was the last time he saw her alive.

If Trump really wanted to sanction Putin, he could. It would be no problem. Congress would go for any sanction he wanted. So any time Trump puts a condition on sanctions, it’s just another piece of evidence that he is protecting Putin from sanctions and helping Russia in the war.

It would be hard to imagine an event that could have gone better from the point of view of the Russian leader, who made no public commitment to stop his assault on Ukraine and yet was treated as a valued friend. @katierogersnyt.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/08/15/u...

The meeting was a disaster for everyone except two people. Trump got his photo op and his ego boost.
Putin got his photo op, whitewashing of war crimes and no sanctions.
No one in Ukraine, Europe or the United States benefited in any way.

FOX REPORTER: “The way it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. It seemed like Putin came in and steamrolled, got right into what he wanted to say, got his photo next to the president, then left.”

As Putin heads to Alaska with his maps and narratives, here's an essay I wrote last year about one of his spurious justifications for Russia's illegal war of aggression—his ideological story that Russia is an ancient state, and Ukraine is historically Russian land

"The United States Can Stop Israel's Genocide With a Phone Call."

Without U.S. aid and support, Israel would not be able to occupy the Palestinians or commit genocide in Gaza. How can Americans persuade Trump to use his immense leverage and end the war?
